I don't see how they help. The problem is that the X-server
is in a situation where it has to wait for something to complete
before it can continue, and it knows that it will take a long time
before that something will complete. All it can do now is burn the
CPU during that time.
I'm assuming futexes are some interprocess mutex mechanism?
If so, I don't see how this helps.
Mark.
